What are silverfish?
These pests are really common Australia-wide. Their name comes from their fish-like appearance, thanks to their flat and scaly body. But, with fast legs and a voracious appetite, they may be damaging precious belongings before you even see them.

SILVERFISH BEHAVIOUR
They thrive in warmth, so they tend to stay around bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries. Unfortunately, Silverfish are excellent at hiding and will leave eggs in the tiniest cracks, which DIY treatments often miss.SILVERFISH BEHAVIOUR

Unlike other pests, silverfish aren’t disease carriers. Instead, the primary problem they cause is damage. They feed on starch and sugars, so spend time searching out and devouring items like books, photo albums, paintings, and even wallpaper.PROBLEMS CAUSED BY SILVERFISH
